BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
- Before using the appliance for the first time, we recommend that your rinse off all removable parts except the motor (1) in warm water.
- Wipe off the housing and the aperture for the ice cream container with a damp cloth that has been well wrung out to remove excess water.

that you maintain an adequate distance to heat sources and other objects. The vent slots on the appliance and on the motor must always remain free.
- If the device has been transported, you must wait for at least one hour before the device can be started up. Otherwise the compressor can be damaged.
MAKING ICE CREAM
- Prepare the ingredients for the ice cream as stated in the recipe. If the ice cream mixture has to be cooked, this should be done a day in advance so the mixture has time to cool thoroughly.
- Refrigerate the prepared ice cream mixture or the required ingredients to a temperature of 6 - 8^
- Puree fruit just before mixing the ingredients and add pieces of fruit at the end.
- Use alcohol sparingly and do not add until the end of the freezing time, because alcohol prolongs the time needed for freezing.
- Place the removable ice cream container in the space provided in the compressor housing (5).
- Place the mixer (3) precisely in the middle of the ice cream container (4)
- Fill the refrigerated ingredients into the removable ice cream container. Make sure not to exceed the maximum fill level. Do not fill the ice cream container more than 34 full, since ice cream expands due to the freezing process and the air that is worked into the ice cream mixture.
- Bear in mind that the ice container must be dry on the outside.
- Place the lid on the ice cream container and turn the lid to the left so that it is locked.
- Insert the motor.
- Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
- The appliance is ready for operation.
- You can now select the desired program with the selector switch. The following programs are available:
- For normal ice cream making.
- The device stirs and freezes the mixture that has been filled into the container. When used as intended the ice cream is finished in approx. 60 minutes.
- When the ice cream mixture has reached the desired consistency, switch off the device by turning the selector switch to "0".
- Do not leave the ice cream mixture too long in the machine, as it can become hard and splintery.
Freeze
- If the ice cream does not have the desired consistency after completion of the program, you can use this program to freeze it longer. When the ice cream mixture has reached the desired consistency, switch off the device by turning the selector switch to "0".
Mix
- If the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed before starting the program, select this program before making the ice cream. When the ice cream mixture has reached the desired consistency, switch off the device by turning the selector switch to "0".

Caution: The appliance does not shut off automatically! Consequently do not allow the appliance to run unattended.

- Remove the ice cream container from the appliance and carefully pull the mixer out of the container.
- Transfer the ice cream to a suitable container. Do not use sharp or pointed objects for this; instead, use a plastic or wooden spoon in
order not to damage the ice cream container. We recommend using a silicone dough scraper.
- If desired, you can make more ice cream right away. In this case, start again with step number 1.
- Tip: If, for example, you are making fruit ice cream or sorbet, remove the ice cream container as soon as the program is finished, transfer the ice cream to a container suitable for freezing and put this container in the freezer for a maximum of 15 to 30 minutes so that the ice cream freezes completely.

RECIPES: GENERAL INFORMATION
In the following you find some general information for the preparation of ice cream as well as some basic recipes. You will find a lot of good cooking books in good bookstores. Please adapt the quantities always to the maximum filling quantity of the ice bowl.
The ice cream smells best when it is fresh. Homemade ice cream does not contain any conserving agents and is thus provided for immediate use. If you want to store the ice cream for some time, you should add 20 g ice cream base which avoids the formati
on of big ice crystals. In Germany the ice base (Eisbasis) is available under the following address in Germany:
Hobbybcker-Versand-Inge Pinzer Am Muhlholz 6-89287 Bellenberg
Tel. 07306/925900
Fax 07306/925905
Only use ripe fruits for fruit ice cream. Fruit pieces or berries should be added at the end of the freezing procedure. Only use very fresh eggs.
You can replace milk by cream or
cream by milk.
The more cream is used, the softer the ice cream will be.
Sugar can be replaced by honey, syrup or sweetener (not in case of soft ice cream).
Milk can be replaced by soy milk.
If you want hard ice cream, put the mass for about 15-30 minutes into the freezer before filling it into the ice cream bowl, or just select a longer freezing time.
The ingredients must be well cooled before filling them into the ice cream bowl. The cooler the ingredients, the
shorter the preparation time (15 bis 30 minutes).
Ice will loose taste and quality if stored too long.
To conserve the ice cream for a certain time, do not leave it in the removable bowl of the ice machine, but fill it into an adequate freezing box with lid.
Ice cream can be stored for a short time in the freezer.
Use the homemade ice cream within one week. Melted ice cream should be used immediately and should not be frozen again.
